[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 32]
My wristband is capable of connecting to any drone from my company.
If I'm able to connect to it, then it proves that it's mine.
I won't return it even if it is yours.
Xiao Si isn't a bad kid.
Yeah. He has a sharp tongue but he's softhearted and sensitive.
He always thinks I'll think of him differently because he's an orphan.
He's experienced too many people's biases.
I suppose he's been misunderstood too many times.
He wears a disguise that's covered in thorns.
He likes to act tough to scare people off.
Child's logic.
Shi Yue.
Are you wearing a disguise to make other people misunderstand you?
No.
I accept your apology.
Also, I think Xiao Tao is very lucky to have you as a friend.
You're saying Xiao Qiao and him?
- They're not lovers. - That's what I thought!
As foolish as Xiao Qiao is, she wouldn't fall for this kind of man.
They're more than lovers.
How come you're not worried at all?
Listen, Nan Qiao is about to be taken by someone else!
I can't believe I'm more stressed out than you are.
I'm not going to be that person!
I want there to be someone to catch her in case she falls.
I feel at ease with you by Nan Qiao's side.
Here, first...
That's right.
What's going on between Xiao Qiao and that Shi Yue?
I still remember the first time I met you.
The clothes you were wearing weren't conspicuous at all.
But it left a deep impression on me because it was very natural.
I'm doing pretty fine now.
Putting all my energy and focus on both work and life.
I also look forward to meeting someone I like.
Don't listen to him. He's always thinking about you.
Hard on the outside, soft on the inside.
Why don't I ever hear anything nice come out of your mouth?
You've been spending a lot of time here lately.
What's going on?
Is it work or love?
My company truly has suffered some hardships lately.
I only knew how to bury my head and work before.
But I just made a huge mess.
But now I've returned to my original goal.
So... all our problems are no longer problems.
Your original goal?
Isn't that researching how drones can replace pilots?
I feel as if this blow wasn't hard enough.
You still don't get it? Machines will never replace people!
Why do you always put me down?
Yeah, my brother was amazing, but don't I have any merits at all?
One of you is my daughter and the other is my son.
I have completely different hopes for the two of you.
How can it be compared?
He had to be the best.
He gave his life for his country! I'll always be proud of him for that.
As for you, I just want you to be happy like a little girl.
That's all you need for me to be proud of you!
Everyone grows up eventually.
Who just lives simply and happily after they grow up?
Are you saying you can't manage it?
Not only that...
you're determined to develop drones to replace pilots.
Do you think drones can replace pilots?
Then wouldn't the valiant decision your brother made in 0.3 seconds
become absolutely worthless?
Wouldn't the event that became my life's pride turn into a joke?
Dad, have you ever considered...
that if rescue drones existed
my brother wouldn't have had to go somewhere so dangerous.
He wouldn't have died and the victims could've been rescued.
Of course I'm proud of my brother.
But it's too selfish to think of his sacrifice as glorious.
What I'm doing right now is minimizing the danger to pilots like him.
That way my brother's sacrifice holds more value.
If Nan Si were alive, he'd definitely support me.
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
I'll go make you some food.
How does noodles sound?
Qiao, we got your email.
Boss, are you trying to make a super drone?
I want to make a progressional-grade rescue drone.
Most specifically used for search-and-rescue...
Security scanning, criminal fugitive arresting...
forest fire prevention, et. cetera. Anything to do with general safety.
- It's a fantastic idea. - No shit.
But making it happen is another story.
Our current software and hardware don't support this concept.
He's right, Boss. You're trying to make a progressional-grade drone.
It's completely different from the commercial-grade drones
we've been studying from the last three years.
I said when I sent you all on your break that we're going to start from scratch.
My original dream was to make a passenger drone.
Of course, that can't be achieved as of now.
So let's start experimenting from professional-grade rescue drones.
But Xiao Qiao, changing the company's strategy has to be taken seriously.
And we need the consent of our shareholders.
How about this, let's start working first and discuss more later.
I agree.
I heard everything just now. This idea is really cool.
I support the idea of search and rescue drones.
It's innovative and a new idea. And it's part of your dream.
I know.
Thanks, majority shareholder.
In the past years, we've been focusing on technological breakthroughs.
At the same time, we've neglected how we want our drones applied.
Xiao Tao's story gave me a reminder that this is something we must do.
Often, the most impossible and difficult result is the best one.
- Are we all up for the challenge? - Boss, we'll fly with you!
[Obstacles go away!] Let's go!
Then it's decided.
We're starting completely from scratch. Don't complain about overtime later on.
It's certainly a challenge...
But if we succeed, that would be epic.
If we succeed this time, it'll knock everything we did before out of the park.
It's the same for me.
Research is you, marketing is me. We'll face the obstacles together.
It looks like money is the only thing left.
Leave that to me.
Thanks.
Let's get to work!
Off to work!
From the establishment of Future Up, or you could say...
when Future Up was just a dream...
I unknowingly received huge inspiration from President Shi.
I'm very grateful.
I also feel... regret and guilt.
I regret not meeting President Shi earlier and becoming business partners.
I feel guilty because due to the way our fates collided in the past...
Wings' new product premiere has yet to become a trending topic.
The media we invited all wrote articles for us
but thus far, it hasn't been reposted or followed that much.
But due to Nan Qiao's popularity, Future Up has managed
to stay in the top ten trending topics.
[CEO Beauty Nan Qiao, Future Up CEO, Future Up Phoenix]
Is the PR team made of crap?
All the effort into setting up a press conference
couldn't even beat the CEO of an almost dead company playing with kids?
To tell the truth, the reason Nan Qiao is popular now
is because all the media that we invited to our press conference.
Are you saying I did this to myself?
I'd like to see who it is that can see this to its end.
An Ning.
Does Shi Yue look at me like this anymore?
Ning...
Before Nan Qiao appeared, this was how he was to me, right?
Shi Yue isn't looking at Nan Qiao.
You're right.
He isn't looking at her with his eyes.
He's looking at her with his heart.
Tai has been waiting outside this whole time.
You really don't plan on seeing him?
No.
Hold on.
Let him in.
An Ning.
Long time no see.
Yes.
After Nan Qiao's traffic accident, I went to lay low for awhile.
Was that necessary?
An Ning, your business is my business.
But I realized that Chang Jian Xiong started investigating.
I did it just in case, and so it wouldn't connect to you.
You've become mindful.
Have a seat.
You must be upset that I gave Wings to Shi Yue.
I've already thought things through.
You have your reasons for doing what you do.
Besides, women often change their minds.
Even if you'd decided to give it to me but changed your mind, I...
I can't blame you. I'm a man.
I won't be fuss.
Thank you for not fussing.
I heard that Shi Yue has been making you unhappy.
I can help you.
You really seem to care about me.
But you can't help me and Shi Yue.
An Ning...
I've followed you so many years. You should know that I can
and I would dig my heart out for you.
True...
I might not be able to give you the moon or stars...
but I can rid of two people who've upset you. That's what I do.
But the moon and the stars are just what I want.
Wings has just recently entered the market.
During this time, don't come see me for private reasons.
An Ning.
- I can help with Wings... - Wings is Shi Yue's.
Shi Yue is mine.
You don't need to be too upset.
I know I've neglected you lately because of Shi Yue.
When everything there is done, I'll remember all you've done for me.
- An Ning. - Find me at the office for work things.
You no longer need to come to my home.
I don't get it, after all these years...
I'm worth less than that traitor of a dog in your heart?
Get out of here.
I checked. Mr. Shi's three dogs are all there.
Why did you suddenly think of them?
I recall that he takes the dogs there every Wednesday.
Traitor dog...
How could a dog be frivolous?
It goes wherever its owner sends it.
Then we should...
Pick the dogs up.
The owner is Nan Qiao's friend and Shi Yue isn't around.
It might not be easy for us to get them.
Since he's breaking up with Nan Qiao, he should do it more completely.
There are so many pet clinics. Why go to Nan Qiao's friend's?
I know what to do.
Seeing as how I personally brought your dogs back home...
shouldn't you at least invite me in for a bit?
One hour isn't enough to send the dogs back?
Are you trying to take care of them
or are you trying to sleep with me?
I can do both.
I'm warning you.
If you ever need me...
leave my dogs and my people alone. Come find me.
I'll make sure I satisfy you.
Okay. I want you right now.
Do you have it in you?
You know this isn't what I want.
But it's all right.
If you can bring yourself to lower your lips...
anything works for me.
We didn't used to be like this.
Don't bring up the past with me.
I was a fool in the past.
You still blame me? For suddenly getting married.
Why would I blame you.
Even my life was given to me by you.
What right do I have to blame you?
Robber.
This title really suits you.
This title suits you well too.
Really?
Then I'll take it with me.
It doesn't mean anything to you anymore anyways.
You say I'm a robber. I should do something to live up to the title.
- Wait for me at the community entrance. - Understood.
Ms. Nan!
What a surprise, you also live here?
Hello President An. How can I help you?
Shi Yue and I were just studying this drone of yours.
I saw you as I was coming out so I thought I'd say hi.
Thank you for paying our products such mind.
It isn't easy for a woman with a business.
It's so late and there's no one to send you home.
Although it makes sense.
If you don't work so hard, how can you be an influencer in the drone industry?
It's no wonder that Shi Yue and I have a lot to catch up on.
All we did was play around when we were in the States.
At least we have chemistry after having been together so long.
President Nan, good luck. Don't let Wings catch up so quickly.
I look forward to competing with Wings justly for the market.
Business is like this.
Whenever someone succeeds in a field, suddenly a surge of people come charging
in and turning a blue sea into a red one.
But I trust that as long as one has creativity...
one will keep discovering blue seas.
This is just how the market works. No matter how you compete and take...
the results are what matter.
Although it's always better to not become hostile.
Future Up has confidence in competition.
Taking however... might not be our forte.
Because sometimes fruit that you take by force is bitter.
Anyways, thank you for liking that drone so much.
However, it's difficult to control. You may have to put in a little effort.
Goodnight.
It's no wonder that Shi Yue and I have a lot to catch up on.
All we did was play around when we were in the States.
At least we have chemistry after having been together so long.
Chang Jian Xiong, what are you doing?
I'm on my way home.
I want to go out for a midnight snack. Want to come?
Okay. I'm on my way.
You called me out just as I was thinking I was hungry.
Eat to your heart's content. It's on me.
Then I'm going all out.
Xiao Qiao.
Do you have something to ask me?
I ran into An Ning in my neighborhood today.
We talked.
She implied to me that she and Shi Yue
lived together in America for a long time.
- That... - You knew, didn't you?
Keeping secrets from me again.
And you kept saying that they just had a business relationship!
I didn't mean to lie to you.
I mean it's in the past.
I didn't want you to be upset over it.
What was the point?
What do I have to be sad about?
Just tell me what you know. Consider it gossiping.
What kind of woman is An Ning?
Since she's Wings' top brass, that makes her our opponent.
I should at least know who I'm up against in order to win.
Just tell me!
Nothing you say now could freak me out.
Fine, then let me drink some beer first for my nerves.
An Ning is a really complicated woman.
There's a lot of gossip out there about her.
I heard that she and Shi Yue started up a company in America.
After Shi Yue came back, she married a rich businessman.
She built up her empire, and has a lot of connections and money.
She has a unique sense when it comes to business.
I'm pretty certain that she was Shi Yue's boss.
So how is that a personal relationship?
What do I have to be upset about?
I heard that they were together once.
I don't know whether it's true or not.
All in all, it's easy to dodge a bullet but not a hidden arrow.
This woman isn't simple.
You have to keep your eyes and ears alert around her.
If we run into her in the business world, you can leave that to Wendy and me.
Personally, you have no need to interact with her.
You don't need to take anything she says to heart.
What makes you think I took it to heart?
I got it. Since we'll be meeting in the business world...
I'll just gather my wits and be ready to face her.
Please listen to me explain. No, that's not what I mean, I...
Xiao An, Xiao An, you handle this.
Qin, get in touch with media contacts that we have good relationships with.
Get them to publish articles clearing our name.
- Okay. - Kui!
Go through all the footage from that day.
Find what we can use and create a new gallery.
- Post it online. - Got it.
Fang Yuan! Get over here.
It's our first day back and this happens. Now I've learned my lesson.
In this day and age, public opinion is the least reliable.
One second, everyone loves you and puts you on a pedestal.
The next, they flip 180 and slam you facedown into the ground.
Didn't we fix everything yesterday?
Come here, let me show you.
Do you see people's comments? They're all discussing Xiao Si stealing the drone.
The comments are even bashing the two kids.
They also say you have questionable character.
First you pretend to be all loving...
then you reveal that they stole and were paid.
Basically, you're the worst of the worst, using two orphans to gain publicity.
Some people are even saying we told the kids to steal the drone.
All in all, it's easy to dodge a bullet but not a hidden arrow.
This woman isn't simple.
You have to keep your eyes and ears alert around her.
They really put in a lot of effort to attack me.
You're saying that Wings did this?
If it's not Wings, then it's definitely Shi Yue.
I don't know.
Too much has happened lately, but my instinct tells me it's not him.
Aren't you putting too much faith in him?
Shi Yue has a bottomline.
He wouldn't drag orphaned children into a scandal.
That much I can tell from all our interactions.
The man that you guys see is protected by a barrier.
What I see is different.
Okay. You believe Shi Yue, I believe you.
But we need to figure out who was behind this.
Probably An Ning.
As in, getting rid of a love rival under the guise of professional competition?
This woman is really something.
Give me some time. I'll definitely find out what's going on.
Xiao Si isn't a bad kid.
Yeah. He has a sharp tongue but he's softhearted and sensitive.
He always thinks I'll think of him differently because he's an orphan.
He's experienced too many people's biases.
I suppose he's been misunderstood too many times.
He wears a disguise that's covered in thorns.
He likes to act tough to scare people off.
Child's logic.
Shi Yue.
Are you wearing a disguise to make other people misunderstand you?
No.
- Mom, Mom! Mom! Look at this! - Why are you yelling like that?
Scaring me half to death... Your mother isn't deaf!
It's because Auntie's run into trouble! Grandpa, look at this.
Everyone is bashing her online!
- What's going on? - Mom, look!
You can't trust everything you see on the Internet.
"CEO Beauty's Drone Dreams," "Loving Publicity for Children's Home"...
"The Truth Behind the Stolen Drone"... What am I looking at here?
It's about the time when Aunt went to the children's group home.
Isn't that good for publicity?
Look, it's on the list of trending topics.
Your aunt really is getting more skilled. She knows how to make trending topics.
Mom, don't be happy to fast! Look further on, see?
[Nan Qiao Fabricates Orphan Drone Situation]
Nan Qiao fabricating news? How is that possible?
If she had those skills, she'd have succeeded a long time ago.
Everyone thinks that because Future Up didn't get their partnership with VIVE
and have nearly collapsed altogether...
they used these orphans in a desperate attempt at extra publicity.
Bullshit!
What's wrong with the Internet these days?
Does he know my daughter? He knows shit!
- All they do now is slander people! - Don't be angry, Dad. Let me see.
I have full confidence in my own daughter!
Nan Qiao isn't capable of resorting to such low methods.
What are you looking at? Close it!
Do you plan on giving them more views?
You want those heinous people to win?
"The wise one knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks he knows everything."
- Grandpa, you go! - Get out of here!
- We'll be working together more often. - President Shi, please wait!
- Madam An, President Shi... - I need to speak with you alone.
President An, I'll be on my way.
I look forward to working with you.
This way please.
What brought you charging into here?
Did you put that news out there?
So you came to interrogate me.
What is it? Are you angry because people are bashing Nan Qiao?
Not just her.
Those two children are innocent. They're orphans, like you.
You must have known that.
Are you still the An Ning I knew?
Return to the Shi Yue I knew. Then I'll become the An Ning you knew.
Boss.
An Ning admitted it?
She didn't deny it.
Of course. She's not stupid.
She knows that even if we know, there's nothing we can do about it.
She used to use a few unscrupulous methods to market things before.
But she would never have touched a children's home.
She grew up an orphan too, didn't she?
She said to me once...
Orphans have it worse than most people from birth.
They have to put in more work than others to get the same things.
So she's always given a lot to group homes.
It's just that when I saw her laughing with the Twitter influencer just now...
I felt really perturbed.
Maybe this person really isn't the An Ning I knew.
Shi Yue, I really regret the horrible idea I gave you at the start.
Stay at An Ning's side to protect Nan Qiao?
This was a mistake.
When is it supposed to end?
If she adamantly refuses to let Nan Qiao go...
this won't end until all of us are dead.
